How to disable WebRTC in various browsers

The WebRTC plugin (which means Web Real-Time Communication) allows to conduct audio and video teleconferencing just in a browser without any additional software installed. However, it reveals the true IP address of a user. The following steps help disable this function in browsers.

Disable WebRTC in Mozilla Firefox

Firefox has the easiest and most proper procedure to disable WebRTC on the browser level. We recommend using this browser if this is a matter of importance for you. Type “about:config” in the address bar, and you will see the list of parameters:

Find the parameter “media.peerconnection.enabled.” A search function will help you with this – just copy and paste this parameter into the search field. This option should be set as false.

Disable WebRTC in Google Chrome

You can install the WebRTC Leak prevent extension.

Disable WebRTC in Google Chrome on Android

Enter URL in the address bar: chrome://flags/#disable-webrtc

Click “Enable” below the setting “Disable WebRTC“.

Restart browser

Disable WebRTC in Yandex browser and Opera

Both these browsers support the WebRTC Control extension which can block WebRTC leaks.

However, using plugins to block WebRTC IP leaks is not the safest method. In some cases, the browser will still be able to transmit your IP address. For additional security, you can install the NoScript plugin that blocks all browser scripts altogether. Even better is using a high-quality virtual private network (VPN).

Thanks for that tip. It doesn’t completely disabling WebRTC, since it still shows up as “Enabled” in Whoer. However, it prevents the detection of WebRTC in the site’s anonymity score, as well as hiding the IP address under the WebRTC entry. So I guess it’s partially effective.

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Many
thanks!

dear Mr. Whoer,
I have used your free service. it is nice, but i discovered that it doesnt change DNS on its own, and it doesnt disable WebRTC on its own. I want to confirm if the paid version comes with all of these features.

Thank you for your response Mr. Whoer. However, just to clarify about the DNS, it means I have to select “Obtain DNS server address automatically?” and for the webrtc, How do I manually disable it on Chrome ?

The process of the disabling the WEBRTC for which you can get the maximum speed for the browser and some of the policies can also be processed by that to maintain that things you must contact the Google Support for the details.
